Haitham Hassan drew attention after appearing with the Egyptian national team at a good level in the tournament.
Haitham Hassan wrote on his Instagram account: "Proud to be Egyptian".
The Real Oviedo winger delivered one of his best matches wearing the Egyptian national team jersey, after assisting Egypt's first goal against Argentina, and was a key party in the match that saw an Egyptian goal canceled amid widespread refereeing controversy during the encounter.
Despite the Egyptian national team's exit from the tournament following the loss to Argentina, the player's performance attracted the interest of several clubs that began inquiring about his contractual status and the possibility of signing him during the current summer transfer window.
According to the Spanish radio station Cope, Real Oviedo has already received several offers to sign the player, but the Spanish club insists on receiving the full buyout clause value of 12 million euros.
Meanwhile, the Daily Record reported that Scottish Celtic is the most prominent club interested in signing Haitham Hassan in the coming period, but it wants to pay only around 5 million euros so far, which Oviedo will not accept.
Haitham Hassan participated in two matches with the Egyptian national team during the 2026 World Cup and assisted a goal against Argentina, and also contributed to scoring another goal in a wonderful way, but it was canceled after a video review.
